My mission is to empower my clients to navigate their lives in a new way which brings joy. Through therapeutic work, I strive to bring clarity and awareness to patterns of thought which prevent healthy and happy living, and redirect ineffective thought patterns into productive solutions.
My approach is attachment and cognitive behavioral in theory. Both of these theories are evidence-based and strongly supported by research. I utilize client-centered and solution-focused models and implement various techniques such as mindfulness skills, sand tray, and play therapy. I highly value a holistic mind-body-spirit approach to healing and restoration of self, and provide support in times of uncertainty and distress for adults, teens, and children. I am also a Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) Practitioner and offer parenting help for foster and adoptive families.
Taking the first step to change is often seeking help. I offer support and guidance in understanding and improving your challenges through a variety of therapeutic techniques. Navigating life can become complicated and we can get 'stuck' in patterns of negative thinking and feelings. I can assist you in working through these difficult times and into a more rewarding and healthier life for yourself. Whether you are dealing with past trauma or current stressors, you can make great gains and become a stronger and more joyful person. Start making change today, you are worth it.
